A middleweight modern classic will claim its spot in the UFC Hall of Fame this summer. During Saturday’s UFC 312 broadcast, the promotion announced that the 2019 interim title fight between Israel Adesanya and Kelvin Gastelum will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame Fight Wing as part of the Class of 2025. The fight was the co-main event of UFC 236, which took place April 13, 2019 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. On that night, Adesanya and Gastelum battled in a thriller that went back and forth for five rounds, with Adesanya winning by close unanimous decision to grab his first piece of the UFC 185-pound title.
